Chapter 248: Fleet Admiral Blaize - 1

Red Force, Red Hair Pirates ship.

"This Haki..." Shanks looked at the distant golden lightning bolts showering from the sky.

"It's so strong. Even from the distance, I could feel the suppression." Beckman commented, squinting his eyes.

"Hahaha...Blaize is stronger than I thought. This conqueror's haki is stronger than Captain Roger's. I would love to fight him, but now's not the time!" Shanks laughed.

--

Blaize's overbearing Haki shut everyone. After a few seconds, his conqueror's haki faded away while the spectators had a look of awe and fear.

"Madara, let's stop it here. The War today is over, we suffered enough casualties." Blaize spoke, as his eyes looked around.

As his gaze passed explored, everyone lowered their heads. Though some of them, who're fanatical followers of the World Government, have opinions they didn't dare to voice it out.

They had a hunch that if they dared to speak their mind, that man would kill them without any hesitation.

"I will rechallenge you. But next time, I will defeat you." 

"Good. Madara, why don't you join the Marines? In that way, you can challenge me anytime you want. Marines need a man of your caliber." Blaize presented an offer as if he ended the fight just to rope him into the Marines.

"Why's Blazie-san inviting that monster to Marines?" 

"No, it's a good idea. He's a wanted man for sure but he isn't a pirate. We can even take down the Yonko if he joins the Marines." The Marine officers discussed among themself.

"No need. I am used to being a free man!" Madara spoke and disappeared from the spot utilizing the 'Body Flicker Technique'.

As soon as Madara left, the Whitebeard pirates also swiftly retreated. Only Marines and Warlords of the sea remained on the scene.

At that moment, Sengoku came forward and spoke via a Den Den Mushi that resounded his voice across the Marine battleships. "I am going to resign from my position as Fleet Admiral of the Marines as of now. I–"

Before Sengoku could finish his speech, Blaize continued. "After Sengoku-san, I will take over his position. If anyone has opinions, you can say that now.

And, if any of you don't like to be under my command, you can quit the Marines. After tomorrow, I shouldn't hear any case of disobedience."

Saying this, Blaize looked at the three Admirals with narrowed eyes. Kizaru and Kuzan shrugged their shoulders as if they had no opinion.

Meanwhile, Sakazuki clenched his fist which fumed in magma.

"Sakazuki, you know in this world strength is supreme. If you want to be the Fleet Admiral, you can do so by defeating me."

After hearing this, blood dripped from Sakazuki's clenched fist. After a brief moment of silence, he turned around and left by flicking his sleeve. His marine coat floated in the air for a moment before igniting into flames.

As Sakazuki disappeared from everyone's sight, his Marine coat finally burned to ashes and swept by the wind.

His answer can't be more clear. This left everyone to discuss, it's a big blow to the Marines as Akainu's considered the strongest among the Admirals.

Some of the Marines who follow absolute justice like Akainu and followers of the World Government, gathered their courage and walked away in the direction of Akainu.

Sengoku, who saw this scene, shook his head. He expected some people wouldn't accept Blaize taking his position, but he didn't expect them to leave directly.

"For now, let's treat the wounded. We will shift our basic operations to the G-1 branch." Without bothering about the leaving people, Blaize ordered the others.

Room of Authority, Pangaea Castle.

The Fiver Elders watched the War from start to end, broadcasted by the Den Den Mushi. It went in an unexpected direction. It took them by surprise.

They expected some kind of interruption or even possible failure of Marine, but not this. The sudden arrival of Madara collapsed their plan. And, before they could react, Blaize took everything by storm.

"Troublesome..." Saint Marcus Mars spoke.

"Considering his personality and Haki, it will be a matter of time before he shifts his target to us. His goal is always the World Government." Saint Jaygarcia Saturn uttered. 

"We should have killed him when we had the chance, but we missed it. Now, he has grown into someone we can't kill by force." Saint Shepherd Ju Peter expressed his thoughts.

"Though he took the Marines under his control, he's nothing but a child with a gun in his hand. Without our support and funds, the Marines won't last a month." Saint Topman Warcury narrowed his eyes.

'Squeak'

At that moment, the door of the room opened and a beautiful figure came inside. "Elders, you are requested by Imu-sama to the throne room?"

The five of them looked at each other before hurrying towards the Throne room.

--

The hidden room where the Empty Throne is,

Imu sat atop the Empty Throne, an extremely tall, ornamented red and gold throne that bears the symbol of the World Government; as if the throne is made for Imu himself.

"Imu-sama" The Five Elder Planets knelt on one knee, ready to receive the order.

"What's happening?" Imu asked, his voice and tone sharp. He heard about Blaize but didn't take him to heart as only persons with the surname .D requires his attention.

"It's our negligence, Imu-sama. We will deal with him!" The Five Elders accepted their mistake. 

"No. I saw him fighting, he's strong. It's time we test the Mother flame being developed by Vegapunk." Imu narrowed his eyes.

"Imu-sama, there's no need for your interference in such a small matter. We will take care of him ourselves. The mother flame is still in the development stage, it takes time to develop it." Saint Jaygarcia Saturn spoke.

"Tell Vegapunk to develop it fast."

"Yes"
